I don’t know that this actually fits the community - this is about a foreign national, who had some old charges he hadn’t dealt with for whatever reason (one of which dates back to high school, when he was technically still a juvenile), and took ICE/CBP at their word, and evidently didn’t realize they are 100% lying. Lots of people don’t keep close tabs on what our shitshow of a country is up to at this exact moment.
This sounds a lot more like being in the wrong place at the wrong time while being somewhat oblivious/uninformed.
He also has a US green card, so that should've made ICE fuck right off.
Although, any people who have a very large right not to be deported using up ICE resources is a good thing as they can fight against the charges easier It also makes their family and friends more likely not to blindly suck up trumpaganda.
ICE has been effectively ignoring the whole green card thing for months now. This is not new behavior for them.
Speaking as a green card holder (who, by definition, went through the immigration process), I'm wondering if they're alleging that he lied on his application.
It was a long time ago when I filled it out, but I do remember that there were a lot of questions about whether you've ever been convicted of or even charged with a crime.
I’m sure the 8 minute training course these division rejects got covered these nuances.
